OUR CORE VALUES
WE ARE CALLED TO CREATE
At Her Story, Inc., we view our work as much more than “just a job.” We believe we are making the world a better place through the experiences and opportunities we create. Our work is not simply a means to an end. It is a primary vehicle by which we serve our neighbors and the world.
LOVE
We have been called to create for the glory of God and the good of others. To glorify God means to reflect His greatness or reveal His characteristics to others. 1 John 4:8 says God is Love. As His ambassadors and image bearers, what better way to reflect Jesus than to love others, meeting them where they are, as they are.
COMMUNITY AND RELATIONSHIPS
We have all been wired by God to enjoy loving relationships, which are not meant for manipulation, but for selfless love. We value community togetherness and welcome tough conversations that lead to understanding. It’s no secret that addiction is a tense topic to engage in, but as Brene Brown says, “It’s harder to hate up close.” We want face-to- face discussions that seek true understanding and intention rather than harsh debates focusing on who’s right and who’s wrong. We are better together.
GIFTS, ABILITIES, AND WORK
God created us to be co-creators with Him. Work is a good gift from God and He has given each of us certain gifts and abilities to work for His glory and the good of others. We want to explore our talents and encourage one another in good works, challenge personal growth, and inspire change within our community.
EXCELLENCE
We seek to raise the bar with each new volunteer and staff member. Exceptional people want to work with other exceptional people, and we believe that helping people become the best version of themselves is the most effective way to love our neighbors with top quality service.
GOOD STEWARDSHIP
It is an honor that we get to serve our community, and we do not take that responsibility lightly. As stewards, we commit to our shared vision through both our words and deeds, developing relationships across our organization, including counseling, mentoring, and training our staff and volunteers.
